It's Awfully Cold Already...

Last night I had two blankets wrapped around me while watching the abomination that is Bachelorpad. I'll be honest, it wasn't that our house was that cold. I just chose to remain in my favorite seat. Which happens to be in front of a window.

In light of this closed-toe shoe weather, I've decided it's time for comfort food.

Like I haven't been eating it all summer.

While I type, I have carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and beef stewing on my kitchen table. I feel like it may be animal abuse to have dogs in that same kitchen smelling my beefy deliciousness all day. What'll be animal abuse is what happens after they knock it over and eat it before I get home.

My simple recipe:

1 lb stew beef

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

2 stalks of celery, chopped

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1" cubes

1 sweet onion

1 package Beef Onion Lipton Soup mix

1 C water

Put all veggies in crock pot. Place meat on top. Combine soup & water. Pour over top. Set on low and cook 8-10 hours. Dump into a HUGE bowl, get some fresh biscuits or yeast rolls nice and toasty, and shove your face full of happiness.

In other news, I hate ticks and stinkbugs. Are there any states/countries without bug infestations? I'm open to anything at this point. Except Greenland. I've caught wind of the lack of Targets situation up there. I do not approve.
